Decomposing Red Roses

The Sunday Muse

Bursting into bloom,  red roses
has anyone noticed, their
delicate beauty

They speak of love and passion
but, the thorns are a reminder
of imperfection

Can you see me through the
rosy tinted haze of summer
my heart openly on display

Exposed, soft buds of affection
but, will a single rose fill
you with enchantment
or do you yearn for
a bouquet

Wilting in the poetic garden
my heart pierced by the thorns
of decaying dreams

Perhaps, love is like a  blue rose
elusive and mysterious in nature
a journey into the unattainable

Living in modern times, there is a
loss of innocence, how can I touch
you when you are too far away

How can I make you believe
in the songs of the roses
when all I feel are
the thorns of the blues
